### 5/5 — Love the simplicity

*2026-10-31*

I love how the App Store claims it doesn’t collect any data, unlike other apps for some reason. And I also love how you can add widgets and use other features without paying for it, unlike other apps for some reason. 

The Apple is super easy to use, super simple, and doesn’t require any sort of payment for any features.

### 5/5 — Fun, creative widgets!

*2026-10-23*

Look, none of us actually needs a countdown timer. Not like we need food or water. Countdown timers are just for fun.

Well, this app's widgets really are fun. The developer clearly put time and energy into creative widget formats. They are worth a couple dollars. Buy it now!

(I'm in no way affiliated with his dev. I found this app while browsing for a timer widget. But when I found the widget lacked options to show hours and minutes, he turned an update around in a few days. Awesome customer service deserves to be rewarded.)

### 1/5 — Of Course

*2026-10-20*

Really just had to ruin it didn’t you. Had to add paid content. Congratulations, you failed consumers and inevitably will be moved on from by us, the consumers. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Mr. Greed.

### 5/5 — No paid content

*2026-09-29*

10/10, would recommend. Easy to use. Great app. No paid content. I really appreciate you making this app.
